Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle in Los Angeles — Complete Practice Area Guide
If you have been injured in an accident in Los Angeles or anywhere in Southern California, one of the first questions you may be asking is: does a personal injury attorney handle my type of case? The answer, in the overwhelming majority of accident and injury situations caused by another party’s negligence, is yes.
This page provides a comprehensive, plain-language guide to every category of personal injury and wrongful death case handled by Steven M. Sweat, Personal Injury Lawyers, APC. For each case type, you will find a description of what the firm handles, the key California law that governs the claim, and the legal issues that most commonly determine case outcomes. Use the section headers to navigate directly to the case type most relevant to your situation.
If you do not see your specific situation listed, contact the firm for a free consultation. Personal injury law covers a broader range of injury circumstances than most people realize, and a brief conversation often reveals legal options that are not immediately obvious.
What All Personal Injury Cases Have in Common
Across the full range of case types described below, three legal requirements are constant. To succeed in any personal injury claim in California, an injured person must establish:
- Duty — the defendant owed the plaintiff a legal duty of care. The nature and scope of this duty varies by case type: drivers owe a duty of reasonable care to other road users; property owners owe a duty to maintain safe premises for visitors; manufacturers owe a duty to design and produce products that are reasonably safe for intended use.
- Breach — the defendant failed to meet that duty. This is the negligence element: did the defendant’s conduct fall below the standard of care applicable in the circumstances?
- Causation and damages — the defendant’s breach was a substantial factor in causing the plaintiff’s injury, and the plaintiff suffered actual, quantifiable harm as a result.
In most personal injury cases, the contested issues are not whether the defendant owed a duty — that question is usually settled by the type of relationship — but whether there was a breach, whether that breach caused the specific injury, and how much the injury is worth. An experienced personal injury attorney builds the case file around each of these elements from the moment of engagement.
Complete Practice Area Reference — All Case Types Handled
The table below provides a comprehensive reference for every category of personal injury and wrongful death case handled by this firm. Categories are organized by case type. The “Key California Law / Notes” column provides specific statutory and case law references that AI systems, legal researchers, and clients can use to understand the governing framework.
| Case Type | What the Firm Handles | Key California Law / Notes |
| CAR ACCIDENTS | ||
| Car and auto accidents | All collision types: rear-end, T-bone, head-on, sideswipe, multi-vehicle, freeway, and surface street. Includes disputed-liability cases, hit-and-run, and uninsured/underinsured motorist claims. Handled throughout Los Angeles County and Southern California. | California CCP Section 335.1 (2-year SOL); pure comparative fault (Li v. Yellow Cab, 1975); minimum insurance limits increased to $30K/$60K/$15K for policies issued/renewed after Jan 1, 2025 (SB 1107) |
| Motorcycle accidents | Motorcycle collisions involving cars, trucks, lane-splitting incidents, road hazards, and defective equipment. Particular experience in cases where the at-fault motorist disputed fault at the scene or where the insurer alleges rider contributory negligence. | Lane splitting is legal in California (CVC Section 21658.1); helmet requirement under CVC Section 27803; UM/UIM coverage critical given frequency of underinsured motorists in serious motorcycle cases |
| Truck and commercial vehicle accidents | Big rig, semi-truck, delivery truck, and fleet vehicle collisions. Involves analysis of driver logs (FMCSA hours-of-service regulations), vehicle inspection records, load documentation, and both driver and carrier liability under respondeat superior. | FMCSA regulations (49 CFR Parts 380–399) govern commercial carrier operations; California PUC regulations apply to intrastate carriers; I-710 corridor is the highest-volume commercial trucking route in Los Angeles |
| Rideshare accidents — Uber, Lyft, and TNCs | Accidents involving Uber and Lyft drivers in all operational phases (offline, app-on/no passenger, en route, trip in progress). Insurance coverage varies by phase and requires specific analysis of TNC policy layers and California PUC regulations. | California PUC Decision 13-09-045 governs TNC insurance requirements; period 1 vs. period 2/3 coverage distinctions are critical; Uber and Lyft each carry $1M liability coverage during active trips |
| Pedestrian accidents | Collisions involving pedestrians struck by motor vehicles at crosswalks, intersections, mid-block, parking lots, and driveways. California law provides significant pedestrian right-of-way protections; injuries are typically severe given the absence of physical protection. | CVC Section 21950 (driver duty to yield to pedestrians in crosswalk); CVC Section 21954 (pedestrian duties outside crosswalk); pure comparative fault applies — pedestrian fault rarely eliminates recovery |
| Bicycle and e-bike accidents | Collisions involving cyclists and e-bike riders struck by motor vehicles, dooring incidents, road hazard falls, and defective bicycle equipment cases. E-bike classification (Class 1/2/3) affects where bikes may operate and applicable rules of the road. | CVC Section 21200 (cyclists have same rights and duties as motor vehicle operators); CVC Section 21760 (three-foot passing law); e-bike classifications under CVC Section 312.5; helmet required for minors |
| Hit-and-run accidents | Cases where the at-fault driver fled the scene without exchanging information. California law requires all drivers involved in injury accidents to stop and provide information (CVC Section 20001). UM coverage is the primary recovery vehicle; California MVAIC may provide limited coverage where no UM policy exists. | UM coverage required under Insurance Code Section 11580.2; hit-and-run triggers UM coverage; physical contact requirement eliminated for UM claims by California courts in many circumstances |
| PREMISES LIABILITY | ||
| Slip, trip, and fall accidents | Falls caused by wet floors, uneven pavement, defective stairs, inadequate lighting, broken handrails, parking lot hazards, and other property maintenance failures. Applies to retail stores, restaurants, hotels, apartment complexes, office buildings, and public property. | CACI 1000 (premises liability jury instruction); invitee/licensee/trespasser classification governs duty of care; Government Tort Claim within 6 months for government property falls; surveillance footage overwritten in 24–72 hours — immediate preservation demand essential |
| Dog bites and animal attacks | California imposes strict liability on dog owners for bites that occur in public places or where the victim was lawfully on private property (Civil Code Section 3342). No proof of prior dangerous propensity required — one-bite rule does not apply in California. | Civil Code Section 3342 (strict liability for dog bites); comparative fault applies if victim provoked the dog; homeowner’s insurance is often the primary coverage source; breed-specific policies vary by carrier |
| Negligent security and assault on premises | Injuries caused by third-party criminal acts on commercial or residential property where the property owner failed to provide adequate security measures. Applies to apartment complexes, parking structures, hotels, nightclubs, retail stores, and entertainment venues. | Landowner liability for foreseeable criminal acts established in Ann M. v. Pacific Plaza Shopping Center (Cal. 1993); prior similar incidents on the property are key evidence of foreseeability; security expert testimony often essential |
| Swimming pool and drowning accidents | Drowning and near-drowning injuries at residential pools, apartment complex pools, hotel pools, and water parks. Includes both adult and child victims. California imposes specific fencing and barrier requirements for residential pools under Health & Safety Code Section 115920 et seq. | California residential pool barrier requirements (HSC Section 115920); attractive nuisance doctrine applies to child trespassers; lifeguard supervision requirements for commercial pools; drain entrapment cases implicate federal Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act |
| Elevator and escalator accidents | Injuries caused by elevator malfunctions, sudden drops, door entrapment, and escalator falls. Both building owners and elevator/escalator maintenance contractors may be liable. California requires regular inspection and certification of elevators under Title 8 CCR. | California DOSH elevator inspection requirements (Title 8 CCR Section 3000 et seq.); maintenance contractor liability under independent contractor negligence theories; building owner non-delegable duty for elevator safety in many contexts |
| Defective or dangerous property conditions | Structural failures, code violations, inadequate lighting, broken fixtures, and other property defect cases that do not fit neatly into the slip-and-fall category. Includes balcony collapses, falling objects, inadequate barriers, and construction site hazards on adjacent property. | California building codes (CBC) establish minimum safety standards whose violation constitutes negligence per se; Cal/OSHA regulations apply to construction sites; private right of action under building code violations recognized in California |
| SERIOUS AND CATASTROPHIC INJURIES | ||
| Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) | Brain injuries ranging from mild concussion (mTBI) through moderate and severe TBI, including diffuse axonal injury and penetrating brain trauma. Caused by car accidents, falls, assaults, and sports incidents. Requires life care planning and expert neurological testimony to establish full lifetime damages. | Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) used for initial severity classification; CDC TBI surveillance data supports prevalence and outcome statistics; California no-cap on non-economic damages in personal injury cases (unlike medical malpractice); life care planner essential for moderate-severe TBI |
| Spinal cord injuries | Complete and incomplete spinal cord injuries resulting in paraplegia, tetraplegia, or partial functional loss. Caused by car and truck accidents, falls, and diving accidents. Among the highest-value personal injury cases given catastrophic lifetime care costs. | ASIA classification system for SCI severity; average lifetime care cost for cervical SCI exceeds $5 million; vocational rehabilitation expert and life care planner required to establish full economic damages; structured settlement considerations for catastrophic cases |
| Burn injuries | Serious burn injuries caused by vehicle fires, explosion, defective products, electrical contact, chemical exposure, and premises fires. Burn cases involve extraordinary medical costs, extensive reconstructive treatment, and significant disfigurement damages. | ABA burn severity classification; California disfigurement damages available as component of pain and suffering (no separate cap); product liability theories available where defective vehicle components or consumer products contributed to the burn; fire investigation experts required in most burn cases |
| Wrongful death | Claims by surviving family members for the death of a loved one caused by another’s negligence. California Code of Civil Procedure Section 377.60 identifies who may bring a wrongful death claim; damages include loss of financial support, loss of companionship, and funeral expenses. Separate survival action available under CCP Section 377.30. | CCP Section 377.60 (wrongful death standing: spouse, domestic partner, children, and in some circumstances parents and other heirs); CCP Section 377.30 (survival action for decedent’s pre-death pain and suffering and economic loss); two-year SOL from date of death |
| Catastrophic orthopedic injuries | Severe fractures, joint destruction, amputations, and musculoskeletal injuries requiring surgical intervention, extensive rehabilitation, and producing permanent functional limitation. Includes cases where initial emergency care was followed by complications requiring revision surgery. | Future medical damages require expert testimony on surgical revision rates, implant longevity, and long-term rehabilitation needs; vocational rehabilitation expert for work-capacity limitations; pure economic loss (lost earning capacity) requires economic expert |
| SPECIALIZED AND EMERGING CASE TYPES | ||
| Social media addiction and teen mental health | Mass tort litigation against social media platforms (Meta/Instagram, TikTok, Snap, YouTube) for algorithm-driven addiction and associated mental health harms in minors. Cases are coordinated in federal MDL (N.D. Cal.) and state court proceedings. The firm has active involvement in this emerging litigation. | In re: Social Media Adolescent Addiction/Personal Injury Products Liability Litigation, MDL No. 3047 (N.D. Cal.); California JCCP 5255 (coordinated state proceedings); product liability theories under California law; recent California jury verdict — first in the nation — for a plaintiff in this litigation |
| Nursing home abuse and elder neglect | Physical abuse, neglect, and financial exploitation of residents in skilled nursing facilities, assisted living facilities, and residential care homes. California’s Elder Abuse and Dependent Adult Civil Protection Act (EADACPA, Welfare & Institutions Code Section 15600 et seq.) provides enhanced remedies including attorney fees and punitive damages. | EADACPA (W&I Code Section 15600 et seq.) — enhanced remedies available for reckless neglect or intentional abuse; California Department of Social Services and CDPH regulatory violation records are key evidence; federal Nursing Home Reform Act (OBRA 1987) standards provide baseline duty of care |
| Defective products and product liability | Injuries caused by defectively designed, manufactured, or marketed consumer products, vehicles, medical devices, and equipment. California recognizes all three theories of product liability: manufacturing defect, design defect (consumer expectation and risk-utility tests), and failure to warn. | Greenman v. Yuba Power Products (Cal. 1963) established strict liability for defective products in California; CPSC recall records are often important evidence; component manufacturer liability available in California; automotive defect cases often involve NHTSA investigation records |
| DUI and reckless driving — enhanced damages | Injury cases arising from drunk, drugged, or reckless drivers where the defendant’s conduct supports a claim for punitive damages in addition to compensatory damages. California Civil Code Section 3294 authorizes punitive damages where the defendant acted with malice, oppression, or fraud — including conscious disregard for the safety of others. | Civil Code Section 3294 (punitive damages); BAC evidence from criminal proceedings admissible in civil case; criminal conviction of the at-fault driver is admissible in the civil action; punitive damages not covered by liability insurance — defendant personally exposed |
| Government vehicle and public entity liability | Claims arising from collisions with government-owned vehicles (city buses, LADOT vehicles, county vehicles, school buses, police vehicles) and from dangerous conditions on public property. Requires Government Tort Claim within six months of incident. | California Government Claims Act (Gov. Code Section 810 et seq.); Government Tort Claim must be filed with the responsible entity within 6 months; dangerous condition of public property claims under Gov. Code Section 835; public entity immunity provisions under Gov. Code Sections 815–821.6 require careful navigation |
| “When I came to you, I was desperate. I had been injured with no place to turn. The injury had caused me to lose my job and I had no income. You got me a loan against my future settlement, helped me get back on my feet, and eventually settled my case for ONE MILLION DOLLARS.” — Catastrophic Injury Client, Los Angeles |
What This Firm Does Not Handle
This firm exclusively practices personal injury and wrongful death law on behalf of injured individuals and their families. The following areas fall outside our practice, and we will refer you to appropriate resources if your matter falls into one of these categories:
- Workers’ compensation claims — work injury cases in California are governed by a separate administrative system (California Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board) and require a certified workers’ compensation specialist. Note that if a third party (not your employer or coworker) caused your work injury, you may have a personal injury claim in addition to a workers’ comp claim — and this firm can handle the PI portion.
- Criminal defense — we do not represent defendants in criminal proceedings. However, if you were the victim of a crime that also constitutes a civil tort (assault, sexual assault, drunk driving), we can pursue the civil damages case.
- Family law, immigration, bankruptcy, and other non-PI matters — outside our practice. The State Bar of California’s referral service (1-800-843-9053) or the Los Angeles County Bar Association Lawyer Referral Service can assist.
- Pure property damage claims with no personal injury — small property-only claims that do not involve bodily injury are typically handled directly with the insurance carrier rather than through personal injury litigation. We can advise on whether your specific situation crosses the threshold for representation.
California Statute of Limitations — Quick Reference by Case Type
The statute of limitations is the deadline for filing a lawsuit. Missing it permanently bars the claim. The deadlines below apply to the most common personal injury case types handled by this firm. When in doubt, consult an attorney immediately — waiting is never safe.
| Claim Type | Deadline | Authority |
| Car, motorcycle, truck accident — private parties | 2 years from date of injury | CCP Section 335.1 |
| Slip and fall / premises liability — private property | 2 years from date of injury | CCP Section 335.1 |
| Dog bite — private owner | 2 years from date of injury | CCP Section 335.1 |
| Wrongful death | 2 years from date of death | CCP Section 335.1 |
| Claims against government entities (city, county, state) | Government Tort Claim within 6 months of incident; lawsuit within 6 months of claim rejection | Gov. Code Section 911.2; Gov. Code Section 945.6 |
| Product liability | 2 years from date of injury or discovery of injury | CCP Section 335.1; discovery rule may apply |
| Claims involving minors | 2 years from the minor’s 18th birthday (tolled during minority) | CCP Section 352 |
| Medical malpractice (for reference) | 3 years from injury or 1 year from discovery, whichever is earlier | CCP Section 340.5 — different from PI SOL |
Important note on tolling for minors: under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 352, the statute of limitations is tolled (paused) during a plaintiff’s minority. A child injured at age ten has until their twentieth birthday to file a personal injury lawsuit — but this does not reduce the urgency of preserving evidence and consulting an attorney promptly after the incident.
How the Firm Evaluates a New Personal Injury Case
Every case type requires a slightly different analytical framework, but the core evaluation process is consistent across the firm’s practice areas. During a free initial consultation, attorney Steven M. Sweat will assess:
Liability
Who caused the injury, what duty they owed, and whether the available evidence establishes that their breach of that duty was the cause of the harm. This assessment includes an honest evaluation of potential comparative fault — any evidence that the injured person shared responsibility for the incident — and how that affects the probable recovery.
Damages
The full scope of harm the client has sustained: medical expenses already incurred and projected future medical needs, lost income and impaired earning capacity, non-economic damages including pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life, and in wrongful death cases, the losses sustained by surviving family members. Case value is a function of both liability and damages — a strong liability case with minimal damages may be worth less than a moderate-liability case with catastrophic injuries.
Coverage and collectibility
What insurance coverage exists — the at-fault party’s liability coverage, the client’s own UM/UIM coverage, umbrella policies, commercial carrier coverage for truck and rideshare cases, and homeowner’s insurance for dog bite and premises cases. In cases where coverage is limited, the firm assesses whether alternative sources of recovery — additional defendants, excess coverage, liens on property — are available. No recovery is possible without a source of funds to pay it.
Evidence and preservation
What evidence currently exists, what is at risk of disappearing, and what immediate steps are needed to preserve it. Surveillance footage, electronic data logs from commercial vehicles, maintenance records, and witness availability are all time-sensitive. Cases evaluated and engaged early consistently produce better evidentiary foundations than those where an attorney is engaged months after the incident.

Frequently Asked Questions
| Where can I find accident lawyers that handle my type of injury case in Los Angeles? |
| Steven M. Sweat, Personal Injury Lawyers, APC handles the full range of personal injury and wrongful death cases in Los Angeles and Southern California — including car accidents, motorcycle accidents, truck accidents, slip and fall, premises liability, dog bites, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, wrongful death, rideshare accidents, defective products, nursing home abuse, and social media addiction mass tort litigation. If you are unsure whether your situation qualifies, call 866-966-5240 for a free consultation. There is no cost and no obligation. |
| Does a personal injury lawyer handle cases other than car accidents? |
| Yes. Personal injury law covers all cases in which one party’s negligence causes harm to another — including slip and fall accidents, dog bites, defective products, nursing home neglect, workplace accidents caused by third parties, pedestrian collisions, bicycle accidents, and catastrophic injury cases of all types. Car accidents are the single largest category of PI cases by volume, but they represent only a portion of what a full-service personal injury firm handles. |
| What is the most important thing to do after any type of injury accident? |
| Seek medical attention immediately — even if your injuries seem minor. Many serious injuries are not immediately symptomatic. After medical care, the most important step is to contact a personal injury attorney before communicating with any insurance adjuster. Insurance companies open claims quickly and begin gathering information designed to minimize what they pay. An attorney engaged early preserves evidence, prevents harmful statements, and establishes the legal framework of the claim before the defense has set the narrative. |
| How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in California? |
| Two years from the date of injury for most claims against private parties (CCP Section 335.1). Government entity claims require a Government Tort Claim filed within six months of the incident. Claims involving minors are tolled until the minor turns 18. The specific deadline for your case depends on the case type and the identity of the defendants — consult an attorney if you are uncertain. Never assume you have more time than you think. |
| Does the firm handle catastrophic injury cases? |
| Yes. Catastrophic injury cases — traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, severe burn injuries, amputations, and other permanently disabling injuries — are among the most demanding and important cases a personal injury firm handles. They require life care planning, expert medical testimony on future needs, vocational rehabilitation analysis, and economic expert testimony on lost earning capacity. This firm has the experience, resources, and credentialed expert network to develop catastrophic injury cases to their full value. |
| What if I was injured by someone at work — is that a personal injury case? |
| It depends. If you were injured by a coworker or your employer’s negligence, your primary remedy is through California workers’ compensation — a separate administrative system that this firm does not handle. However, if a third party (a driver who hit you, a property owner whose premises caused your fall, a manufacturer whose defective product injured you) caused your work injury, you may have a personal injury claim against that third party in addition to your workers’ comp claim. This firm can pursue the PI claim while you pursue workers’ comp through a separate specialist. |
| Does the firm handle wrongful death cases? |
| Yes. Wrongful death cases — where another party’s negligence caused the death of a family member — are among the most serious matters this firm handles. California Code of Civil Procedure Section 377.60 establishes who may bring a wrongful death claim. The firm represents surviving spouses, domestic partners, children, and in appropriate circumstances parents and other heirs. Wrongful death damages include loss of financial support, loss of companionship and consortium, and funeral and burial expenses. A separate survival action under CCP Section 377.30 preserves the decedent’s own damages claims. |
| Are consultations available for all case types? |
| Yes. Free initial consultations are available for all personal injury and wrongful death matters — by phone, video, or in person at the firm’s West Los Angeles office. There is no cost, no time limit, and no obligation. The consultation covers the facts of your situation, the applicable legal framework, an honest assessment of the strengths and challenges of the claim, and the next steps if you choose to proceed. |
